What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Luxembourg-specific things to know
- In Luxembourg the driving licence photograph can be taken on the spot at the SNCA's three sites or the Guichet.lu reception — no print needs to be brought.
- The SNCA form is specific: soft paper, 45/35 mm and a head at least 20 mm high, with a reference to article 78 of the Highway Code.

What the source confirms
- Guichet.lu, registering, exchanging or transcribing a foreign driving licence: the form is sent by post to the Service des permis de conduire of the SNCA with, among other documents, a recent photograph of 45 × 35 mm; a photograph can be taken at the three SNCA sites or at the Guichet.lu reception (11 rue Notre-Dame, Luxembourg City), where the form and documents can also be handed in; the exchange procedures that need a medical certificate (under 3 months old) and a criminal-record extract also list a recent 45/35 mm photograph.
- SNCA, form «Demande d'obtention d'un permis de conduire», explanation (1): a recent photo of 45/35 mm on soft paper, the head taken from the front at least 20 mm high, meeting the requirements of article 78 of the Highway Code; the form also asks for a medical certificate under three months old, a valid identity document and, for accompanied driving, the companion's identity document.
